Week of June 4-10, 2023 in Darker: Extracting common code and preparing for release 1.7.2

[akaihola]

This week, we made significant progress in refactoring Darker's codebase and preparing for the upcoming 1.7.2 release. We merged a pull request to extract common parts shared with Graylint into a new package called Darkgraylib (PR #501). This refactoring addresses issue #465 and will help streamline the development process for both projects.

Work on release 1.7.2 is underway, with a pull request opened to prepare for the new version (PR #500). While the details of the release are still being finalized, this update is expected to include various improvements and bug fixes.

We also made a small but important change to Darker's behavior when using the --stdin-filename option. The tool now allows - as a source file in this scenario (PR #494), making it more compatible with Black and resolving an issue reported by a user working with the VSCode Black Formatter extension (issue #492). This change improves Darker's integration with popular development environments and tools.
